99silverRE50 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Anyone know how to aim the headlights? I look and all I see is to adjust from left to right, nothing up and down.

silverton Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Well, when you figure it out, use this guide. Though from what I read in there, most USDOT composite lights are not adjustable left and right. so that could be the up/down adjustment? http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/aim/aim.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dududuckling Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Behind each light, you'll see two horizontal screws, kinda like the beer caps. One is located at the top and easy to access, the other one is located much lower and you'll need longer screw driver to get to it. One screw adjusts left/right and the other adjusts up/down. They turn clockwise/anti-clockwise since they're in the horizontal position. When you have HID, you might wanna aim them lower than suggested because HID has wider beam pattern and scatters everywhere. I'll try to get a picture of it later today.

I have refrained from posting earlier because I could not for the life of me describe the way the screws look. I too was stumped by the vertical adjustment until I noticed the depth of the adjustment screws. I think that I used a ten inch screw driver to adjust them (it was many years ago).

dududuckling Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Here you go, this is on the driver-side headlight: This is the one that's easy to access You'll need longer screw driver for this one as the screw is all the way down: Adjustment screws are vertical position, my bad... just grab longer screw driver, stuck it in, and turn it clockwise/anti-clockwise.
